Freshfields PFO post-app for direct TC Does previously having failed an AC for the firm’s VS contribute to them more likely to PFO you? Kinda sad cos I do like the firm

Hey, probably not what you want to hear but I've got a WG invite for the direct TC after reaching AC stage for their VS last year. Did you take up the offer of a feedback call with grad rec following the AC? I found that to be very helpful as they told me it was mostly my commercial knowledge that let me down in the case study interview (unsurprising as it was my first ever AC lol) but that they liked my initial application so I didn't change that much this round.

Has anyone received a response from Farrers yet? x

 

[Tintin06]

Has anyone heard from Milbank yet? Or do we reckon it's going to be after their next AC?

No and they are the only one I applied for!

Not sure, it does say they are looking for 1-2 trainees on the app page though (I have been trying to work it out as well, as I have a diff SVS offer and wondering if it will be very competitive). On the basis of 1-2, I would presume it will be no more than 10?

All I can find is that they have upped their NQ salary to a pretty sizeable $215,000, which is significantly more than the firm I already have a SVS offer from lol

They’re my second last one 🥹🥹🥹 given, I submitted my application a week later cause the website crashed for me. So I’m not sure if I’ll hear back at the same time as everyone else 🥹

Same for me! When did you give your AC? Are they choosing 20 out of 30 candidates?

 

[HopefulFutureTrainee123]

Does anyone have any advice for forgetting about previous ACs when preparing for upcoming ACs? I do not have outcomes for past ACs yet, but my upcoming AC has a very similar question style and format to the past ACs, so I'm struggling to prepare without worrying about what I said for other interviews

Has anyone else heard back from Ashurst post AC?

It doesn't look like they're going according to dates of submission... The person on this forum who got their AC applied on 31 January - I applied in December and still haven't heard back.. either it's a rejection or they're going in some random order

What a day, Freshfields and Ashurst PFOs in the space of an hour - we love it
